Last night I paid my tuition again... I'm just someone who loves to dwell on old issues, and as a result, I still stepped into a pit. I wanted to catch a small fluctuation, and when the market price surged, the slippage hit me hard: it's not that I judged the wrong direction, but the pool's depth simply couldn't withstand that move. I even chased with two orders, which basically accelerated my own slippage. To put it simply, my order timing was chaotic; the more impatient I was, the more I lost.
Now I review only two things: first, whether the depth can absorb my amount, then decide whether to set a limit order or split the order; if I really want to chase, I’d rather be a half beat slower, not jump in right when others just pushed the price up to be the last one. During airdrop season, everyone is busy with tasks like going to work, the on-chain noise is loud, and liquidity looks lively but is actually quite thin... Anyway, I’ve already put “itchy hands” into risk control, and if I have no plan, I won’t click confirm.
